“ Food, clothing, shelter, school ex­
penses and medical cane are some of
the thli
which th- poppy means to
unforti Mate children o f veterans. We
think it highly fitting that the flower
which honors those who have died for
America should help those who will
build the America of the future. Wi
hope that everyone will remember
these childen when they secure their
poppies on i* p;»y l>ay and contribute
as generously as possible to the aux­

Many attempts have been made in
recent years to give new life to the
Bible in an effort to get young peo
pie more interested in its teachings.
Modernized versions o f the bible have
been revised and a general effort
has been made to keep religion in
accord with the many changes in the
way o f life.
„
One o f the most interesting endea­
vors along this line is the new Talk­
ing Bible being sponsored by the
Bible Foundation o f New York City-
In a recording studio the Founda­
tion has had talented actors and ac­
tresses bringing the Bible characters
to life, acting out the famous bible
stories for recordings. Now the re­
cords which will eventually include
all of the important bible stories are
being offered to radio stations,, chur­
ches and any other interested organi­
zation.
The Bible Foundation is a non­
commercial, non-sectarian, organiza­
tion supported by donations from
people interested in its work.
Its
whole purpose in preparing these re­
cordings is to create new interest in
the Bible.
These recordings are not sold or
rented but are offered without charge
to interested groups.
Many o f us will undoubtedly wel*
come the opportunity to hear the
beautiful stories of the Bible brot
to life.
